Abstract: The provision of economical and reliable energy is a prime requirement for the success of manufacturing industry on which the well-being and standard of living of the population depend. Advanced power generation technologies seek to supply this demand for energy within the increasingly stringent economic and ecological restraints with respect to plant costs, fuel costs, fuel conservation and environmental impact. The key factor is the thermal efficiency of plant, which can be improved by increasing the temperatures and pressures of the processes. There is therefore a general requirement for improved materials and components which can operate reliably at higher temperatures and pressures. The European Co-operation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research (CaST) is a means for the co-ordination of national research programmes on a European level, CaST actions consisting of basic and pre-competitive research. The Liege Conferences were initiated in order to disseminate the results of the materials related CaST Actions, beginning with caST 50 which was mainly concerned with materials for gas turbines and then moving to CaST 501 in which materials for power generation plant were investigated. The overall objective of CaST 5Ol, the results of which are reported in this Sixth Liege Conference, was to contribute, through a targeted programme of applied research, to the development of improved materials for advanced components in power engineering applications. The work was focused on topics concerning materials for the components that have a decisive influence on the enhancement of plant performance and efficiency, to ensure the ability of the European power engineering industry to remain competitive in the world market. The critical materials and components in power generation plant have been identified and the required research and development activities have been based on the principle of worksharing, Materials scientists, design engineers, alloy producers, component manufacturers, plant builders and plant operators have been brought together, reflecting the need to match materials properties and component behaviour. The power engineering systems covered include gas turbines (aero and stationary), steam turbines, diesel engines, fluidized bed combustors, gasification plant and waste incinerators. The Conference comprised 6 invited lectures which put the materials research for advanced power engineering in aglobai context, 23 review papers that summarize the CaST 50 I activities and over 140 contributed papers presented as posters. The Conference Proceedings containing all the papers are organized as folIows: [...]
